歌词
It was a long time ago
I was a girl about twelve or so
On my back staring up into the dark summer sky
And I said, "God, tomorrow I can't see
But I'll stay close to you and you stay close to me"
And that night I prayed, "Keep me, God, keep me, God"
Now I don't know just where God lives
Ain't all that sure just exactly who God is
And I don't know if there's a church that deserves to take God's name
I just know when I look around I see the hand of someone
Or something that is bigger than me
And I call that God and then I pray, "Keep me, God"
I'm in a plane up in the sky
A storm surrounds us as we fly
And below the big black ocean's all that I can see
And all at once I realize
Don't really matter if I live or even if I die
Just so long, just so long as you keep me, God
Now when my days draw to an end
And I've said goodbye to my family and friends
When the tide that turned my life is standing still
As I turn my final bend
I'll bet you I'm gonna be asking even then
Keep me, God, keep me, God, keep me, God
Oh, keep me, God, keep me, God, keep me, God
Oh, keep me, God, keep me, God, keep me, God
